His execution date was set for January 31.
Two days before the date was set, a civil court judge had
issued a stay in the case
because a civil suit was filed by the American Civil
Liberties Union.

The ACLU argues that Montana's use of lethal injection
is unconstitutionally cruel.
The civil judge ruled no execution could go ahead until that
case was resolved,
but the sentencing judge ignored the ruling and went ahead
and set a date anyway.

The Montana Supreme Court had to intervene in the
jurisdictional dispute to uphold the stay.

An application for clemency has been filed with
Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer
who holds the responsibility for making the final decision
on commuting his sentence.
